Chapter 49: The City Lord is recruiting, the divine detective smells so good! [Please read on! ]
Zhao Xuanhai...
Li Che's hair stood on end, and he felt that the wind and rain around him had disappeared, and it became scorching hot. A huge, angry-looking Buddha statue was looking down from the sky!
If you stare into their eyes for a long time, your mind will be shaken and you will sweat profusely.
Closing his eyes and actively cutting off his sight, Li Che opened his eyes again and had become much calmer.
Zhao Xuanhai, who was sitting in front of the workshop, also stood up. He had a sturdy body, like a bear, nearly two meters tall, with a big beard and dense muscles.
Li Che put down what he was holding, clasped his fists and bowed: "I am Li Che, the woodcarver of Xuji Four Knives. Nice to meet you, sir."
Zhao Xuanhai, Zhao Chuanxiong's cousin, one of the three great detectives in the inner city...
He is a divine monk! What is Zhao Xuanhai doing here? Is he going to avenge Zhao Chuanxiong? He should go to find Niu Mo, why is he looking for Li Che? Li Che was puzzled.
"Master Li, don't be nervous. I'm here for two main reasons..."
Zhao Xuanhai was a burly man with a very oppressive look. He said calmly with his hands behind his back.
Each of the three great detectives in Feilei City is a top-notch expert with extremely strong strength. Li Che naturally does not want to fall out with them in person.
In the distance, there were hurried footsteps.
Three figures walked out of the door.
Li Che looked over and was stunned, because the three shopkeepers of Xu's Outer City Woodcarving Shop were all present, which was rare.
The first manager is Xu Heli, the second manager is Xu Beihu, and the third manager is Xu You.
The three sons of Xu Ji all arrived at the same time.
Even though he rarely appears in public, the elusive chief manager Xu Heli also showed up.
In all the years since he joined Xu's Woodcarving Shop, Li Che had seen Xu Heli only a few times.
This is the first time I have seen this since I became a woodcarver.
Xu Heli has a handsome appearance, a tall figure, eyes that seem to sparkle, and a sword with tassels hanging down on his waist. He seems to be reserved, but in fact, in just a moment, he can unleash his sharp edge.
Divine monk! Xu Heli is the same.
In fact, Xu Beihu and Xu You were also divine cultivators, but their divine cultivation was not high, and their divinity was not revealed. Unlike Xu Heli and Zhao Xuanhai, they could just stand there and their divinity could be vented endlessly, which was breathtaking.
The first stage of divine practice is to cultivate one's nature, and there are different levels of cultivation.
When Li Che saw the three shopkeepers arriving together, he felt a little relieved, knowing that he should be safe.
"What kind of storm could blow Detective Zhao to our shop?" Xu Heli lowered his eyelids, smiled, and clasped his fists towards Zhao Xuanhai.
"Hahaha, I just came to find Master Li for two things. The first thing... I heard that Master Li is a talented woodcarver from Xu Ji, so I want to find Master Li for a good job." Zhao Xuanhai laughed.
"It seems that Young Master Xu is not far from forging a divine foundation. Among the three Young Masters of Feilei... perhaps Young Master Heli will take the lead." Zhao Xuanhai looked at Xu Heli and narrowed his eyes.
"The divine foundation is difficult to build. It may seem like only one millimeter, but in reality it is thousands of feet. How can it be that easy... Zhao Shenbu is too kind."
Xu Heli remained calm and said, "Master Li is not even a woodcarving master. As Detective Zhao, you should go find a woodcarving master..."
Zhao Xuanhai waved his hand: "There is no need to invite a woodcarving master for this job. In fact, strictly speaking, this is a conscription..."
requisition?
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Li Che couldn't help but frown. Recruiting... that would involve people at higher levels.
"Yes, it is a verbal recruitment by the city lord. He is recruiting skilled craftsmen from the woodcarving shops of various aristocratic families to complete the work together. The wages are generous. The total work time is ten days, and the total reward is ten gold leaves..."
Ten gold leaves?! One thousand taels?! Everyone was shocked.
"I wonder...what kind of job it is?" Xu You took the initiative to ask on behalf of Li Che.
Zhao Xuanhai glanced at the third son of the Xu family and said calmly, "I can't be specific, but it's probably just some wood carvings for the city lord... It's not a difficult job, and it doesn't require carving with the charm of a wood carving master. It's just that the city lord needs a large quantity, but the quality cannot be lost, so he needs to find a good hand in the wood carving shop."
Xu Heli frowned upon hearing this. Did Zhao Xuanhai come here just for this? He thought it was because of Zhao Chuanxiong's death. If it weren't for the fact that Li Che was a talented woodcarver in the shop and had the opportunity to become a master woodcarver in the future, Xu Heli would not even be willing to come here at Xu You's request.
Hearing this, Xu Heli couldn't help but look at Li Che: "Master Li, are you willing to take this job?"
Li Che clasped his fists and said sincerely, "I don't want to."
Working for the city lord? It doesn't sound like a good job! Although the temptation of one thousand taels is great, Li Che, who has just become rich, can still restrain himself.
Unwilling?
Xu Heli paused, as if he didn't expect that Li Che would refuse a job worth one thousand taels so straightforwardly, and that he was working for the city lord.
Zhao Xuanhai was also speechless. He went to other shops, and the woodcarvers were very enthusiastic when they heard that they were going to carve woodcarvings for the city lord. After all, this would allow them to get in touch with the city lord's mansion and keep a favor...
But I never expected that Li Che's attitude was completely different from others.
"Master Li, this is a conscription from the city lord... the wages are extremely generous!" Zhao Xuanhai frowned.
"Detective Zhao, you also said that it is only a verbal recruitment from the city lord, and it can be rejected. Since Master Li is unwilling to take this job, let other masters in the shop go. I, Xu Ji, will find someone."
Xu Heli said.
Zhao Xuanhai looked at Li Che deeply. It was said that this talented woodcarver from Xuji was a cautious and fearful person. Now it seemed...
Si Mubai's evaluation was very pertinent.
"Forget it, since Master Li doesn't want to, then forget it."
After Zhao Xuanhai finished speaking, he suddenly raised his arm and disappeared from the spot like lightning, as sudden as thunder and lightning.
He appeared beside Li Che, and with his five fingers like hooks, he suddenly pinched Li Che's right arm and shoulder.
There seemed to be a fiery divinity burning in Zhao Xuanhai's eyes, like a Buddha with flying hair, raising his head and roaring!
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
A divine power flowed into Li Che's body through Zhao Xuanhai's palm and circulated rapidly.
The incident happened too fast! Xu Heli's eyes narrowed, and the tasseled sword at his waist came out of its sheath with a roar, and the sword lights were densely intertwined throughout the workshop.
"Hahaha! The Xu family's [Xuansi Liujian] is indeed as sharp as its reputation says!"
The moment Xu Heli drew his sword, Zhao Xuanhai quickly loosened his grip on Li Che's shoulder and stepped back to where he was.
Xu Heli grasped the long sword, his eyes flashing like lightning: "Captain Zhao...what do you mean by this?"
Zhao Xuanhai smiled and said, "I heard that Master Li is a martial arts prodigy. He has only practiced martial arts for two years and has already reached the state of bone tempering. I am curious and want to verify it."
Zhao Xuanhai waved his hand and said, "Since Master Li is unwilling to take this job, I will leave first. It's a pity... Master Li's craftsmanship is so good, he doesn't want the wealth for free."
"So and so takes leave."
After Zhao Xuanhai finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the woodcarving shop.
Wearing a bamboo hat and without an umbrella, he headed straight into the wind and rain.
The moment Zhao Xuanhai walked out of Xu's Woodcarving Shop, his brows furrowed.
"Not him?"
"Some unorthodox martial arts can restrain one's internal energy and blood, hide one's martial arts, and explode when necessary. The Bull Demon's repeated attacks are all related to this Li Che..."
"Sun Changbiao, Lei Chunlan, and my disappointing cousin Zhao Chuanxiong... all have their eyes on Li Che's spirit child daughter."
"I thought that Li Che was just pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger, but now it seems..."
"Is this Li Che a real pig?"
Zhao Xuanhai stood in the wind and rain with his burly body like a bear, letting the rain hit his body, outlining the hazy mist. He turned his head and glanced at Xu's Woodcarving Shop.
"Is the Bull Demon... related to Xu Ji?"
"Oh... not important."
Zhao Xuanhai smiled faintly and continued to walk into the rain.
However, after taking two steps, his brows couldn't help but frown.
"Strange... It's just a circle inside Li Che's body, why is the consumption of divinity so great?"
"It looks like something took a big bite out of it?"
…
…
Inside Xuji Woodcarving Shop.
Li Che, who had just rejected Zhao Xuanhai, returned to his workshop.
Feeling the burning heat in my arms, the wrathful divinity slithering like an angry snake...
He rubbed his fingers together and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
My goodness, it smells so good.
